I have never lost a game thread, and am calling on the baseball gods to shine down your glory on our sox again.

Eric Bedard's last 6 starts: 6-0, 0.85 era.

 

I feel really good about our chances.

Well if we can avoid the mistakes that we encountered July 3rd against this guy, we should be pretty good...for those who forgot, this was the game where our defense had maybe the worse inning ever.

Winning would be a welcomed change.

well since we are facing a lefty I guess Pablo and Sandy will be playing.

 

dont like our chances

I honestly think we need a sweep here, badly.

MO-JO RIS-IN

Winning would be a welcomed change.

 

Winning? What word is that? What does it mean?

On paper it looks like we should lose badly tonight but I like our chances. Freddy Maddux will stifle the O's lineup with his junk.

MOJO! mojomojomojomojo

 

 

 

 

 

MOOOOOOOJO!

eh.

I don't like this game on paper.

 

Garcia. Oy!

Freddy, no more f***ing around with this season. No more wasted starts, no more collapses. Pitch like a man. Pitch like a world champ who has some pride.

That's the thing that drives me insane about Garcia.

 

Garcia was throwing hard against the Yankees, and shut them down (a little too late, but still). I was of the opinion that he's either off steroids, needs to have his shoulder examined, or needs a psychologist to tell him how stupid it is to decide to stop throwing a hard fastball.

 

Except that I've been skeptical of that whole, "Personal choice" line of explanation. You're telling me it's his choice to give up five, six runs a game? But then he was throwing flames in New York, and I can't figure out what the hell is going on.

this is a huge 6 games for us right here.

 

4 wins has to be the minimum.

I'm hoping for more, but I'm expecting about four wins.

 

Freddy's gotta be able to handle the Royals in his next start after this one. Too bad Kansas City misses Vazquez -- them, and Cleveland, are his favorites.

Bedard is pitching for them?

 

Win a game against a pitcher who's been lights out. Now that would be impressive.

If there's anything left of "Big Game" Freddy Garcia, if that pitcher we saw last year isn't totally dead, then today's the day we'll see it. Winning a must-win game in the middle of a slump against a pitcher who's been dominant lately...that's what Garcia was good at last year.

Too much weed on the off day = bad Frederick.

 

No weed on off day/ass chewing by Oz = good Freddy

The Sox really need a sweep here. Either the Twins or Tigers have to lose 2, so it would be nice a gain a couple games on someone.

Bedard is pitching for them?

 

 

Yes indeed. He's been as good as anybody in baseball the last 6 weeks.

normally I would take 7 innings, 3 ER's from Fred, but today? He's got to match Bedard and keep it close. I just don't see the O getting much of a chance against this guy.

Hopefully Freddy took it easy on the booze and ganja last night and he can lead the troops to a White Sox winner. I'm going to sit back tonight with a beer and a cigarette and enjoy a great game by the White Sox.

 

...who am I spiffting. I'm scared.

 

It's been a while since Freddy put back-to-back dominant starts together. We need one tonight. Badly.
